On Wednesday, the Career Center at San Jose State University put on the annual Spring EXPO Career/Internship Fair at the Event Center from noon to 5 p.m.
Julie Sedelmeyer, the associate director at the Career Center, said that they expected 2,000 students to attend the fair.
"At about 3 p.m. an estimated 1,500 students attended so far," Sedelmeyer said.
Many Silva, a senior majoring in engineering, said that the fair was a good opportunity for students.
"It's a good opportunity for us to get an internship for summer and to get experience talking to employers," Silva said.
Marc Calvanico, a sales training manager for the advertising department at the San Jose Mercury News, said that he was happy to be a part of the fair and to meet graduating students.
Jynelle Crutch, a senior majoring in accounting, thought it was good because she could network with employers.
"It's good to have networking where we can talk to employers and get practice going around finding out what each employer wants," Crutch said.
Evelyn Castillo, career information specialist at the career center, said that the fair was a great opportunity for students to meet employers.
Sedelmeyer said that she heard positive things from many students who attended the fair to meet with employers.
"We have 123 employers, like eBay, Lockheed, Hitachi, IBM, and Cisco," Sedelmeyer said.
Ravikiran Deshpande, a graduate student in electrical engineering, said it was a good place for students to learn job skills.
"Not just grad students, but all students can get the opportunity to learn at the fair," Deshpande said. "It's not like falling down the rabbit hole in 'Alice in Wonderland' where you don't know where it goes."
Tony Lameo concurred that it was a good opportunity to meet people and make connections.
"You can make connections with employers and companies," Lameo said.
Sedelmeyer said that there would be another job fair later in March.
